Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Tallies two catches Thursday
Hyatt recorded two catches (on two targets) for eight yards against the Cowboys in Thursday's Week 13 loss.
Hyatt, Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson each finished with two catches for New York, and none of them had more than eight receiving yards. Only Malik Nabers, who posted eight catches (on 13 targets) for 69 yards, was able to put up substantial numbers among the team's wideout corps. Hyatt's paltry reception and yardage totals were his second-highest of the season, which highlights how unproductive he's been this year.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Quiet again Week 13
Slayton caught two of six targets for eight yards in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas.
After being held without a catch in a Week 12 loss with Tommy DeVito starting at quarterback for New York, Slayton was only mildly more productive Thursday with Drew Lock behind center. It's unclear which QB will start next Sunday against New Orleans, but either way Slayton's floor has fallen quite low since the departure of Daniel Jones. Among the Giants' wideout corps, only Malik Nabers has been able to maintain useful production since the changing of the guard at quarterback.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Slated to suit up Sunday
Cowing (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 13 battle versus the Bills, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reports.
Cowing suffered a concussion Week 11 against Seattle and didn't suit up this past Sunday versus Green Bay. However, he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be able to play against Buffalo. Cowing has been held without a catch in all but one of his nine games so far this season, and his primary contributions have come as a punt returner.

Chris Conley WR | SF
49ers' Chris Conley: Questionable for Week 13
Conley (knee) is questionable to suit up Sunday against Buffalo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Conley finished the week with a pair of limited practices after not appearing on the injury report Wednesday. The veteran wideout has only one catch on the season, so he's not a big part of the 49ers' passing game. However, if Conley is unable to play Sunday, Ronnie Bell and/or Jacob Cowing could see a few more offensive snaps than usual.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Jets' Malachi Corley: Good to go for Week 13
Corley (illness) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Corley missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but he was a full participant in the last two sessions of the week and will be able to play Sunday. The rookie third-rounder will continue to serve as the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Leads team with 90 yards
Hopkins had four receptions (on nine targets) for 90 yards in Friday's 19-17 win over Las Vegas.
Hopkins snapped out of a marginal slump to post his highest receiving yardage total of both Friday's win and his season to date. The 32-year-old also recorded a season-worst 44 percent catch rate in order to become the Chiefs' leading receiver. Hopkins managed to help his offense beyond the box score by drawing two instrumental pass interference flags late in a hard-fought victory. He should continue providing flex value in most fantasy formats for next Sunday's home matchup against the Chargers in Week 14.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Just short of 100-yard mark in loss
Meyers secured six of 11 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.
Meyers finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brock Bowers for the Raiders on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's yardage total was his third highest of the season and maintained a recent pattern of strong play, as Meyers has generated both of his 100-yard efforts this season along with Friday's total within his last four games. The sixth-year pro has at least six catches in five of his last six contests as well and plenty of established chemistry with Aidan O'Connell, giving Meyers a bright outlook heading into a Week 14 road matchup against a vulnerable Buccaneers secondary on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Not expected to play Week 13
Jones (groin) is doubtful to suit up Sunday against Pittsburgh.
Jones was able to log a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday but was then a DNP on Friday, and it's likely that he'll miss his fourth straight game. The second-year wideout hasn't played more than 11 snaps on offense in any contest this season, but he was working as the Bengals' top kick returner prior to getting hurt. That role figures to be filled by Jermaine Burton on Sunday with Jones out of action.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: No injury designation
London (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The Falcons added London to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but it's apparently not much of a concern after he upgraded to full participation Friday. Fellow Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney (Achilles) also avoided an injury designation for Week 13.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Another DNP on Friday
Tillman (concussion) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Tillman has logged back-to-back DNPs, so he's trending toward sitting out Monday against the Broncos after being concussed in last Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers. He'll have one more opportunity to take the practice field Saturday, but Tillman would have to log a full practice and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to exit the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Monday's game.
